My take on the lawsuit against the mosque in Tennesse

As a moderate Muslim, I can actually see the point of the plaintiff as well. However opposing the mosque is not the correct course of action for the following reasons:First, it will fuel hatered as it will support the image of Islam being under attack and show radical Muslims as justified.

Second,the Us is built on equal rights. If we deprive Muslims from a place to worship, then the terrorists win.

Following what these islamic leaders of this mosque advocate and trying to hold them accountable for any propaganda which incites violence is a better alternative. Encouraging moderate Muslims to speak against violence is the best solution.

If they truly have evidence of support to terrorists, then show the evidence and put those responsible in prison. If they do not, then those who oppose the mosque need to shut up. As the saying in the US goes "put up or shut up"!!
